The most popular metal band (2024) from each country, according to Spotify
I looked up the South African band. They mostly go by Xavleg. The full name is an initialism for “Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated By Mass Amounts Of Filthy Fecal Fisting And Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside The Infected Maggot Infested Womb Of A Molested Nun Dying Under The Roof Of A Burning Church While A Priest Watches And Ejaculates In Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus”. They are a Christian band.
Glad to have that cleared up
I was familiar with Overthrust from Botswana just to the north because Vice did an amazing article on them years ago (that fortunately has been captured by the Wayback Machine since the photos are gone on the live site):
African. Cowboy. Death metal.
I used to follow them on Facebook back before I ditched social media. Their aesthetic and commitment to the bit is fucking fantastic.
Oh yeah, I forgot that Metallica used to play metal lol
Every single country appears to have better taste in metal than the US.
I don’t discredit what Metallica contributed to the metal genre. Hell, I was once a hardcore Metallica fan. But since their heyday, many much better bands have appeared. And with actually good drummers.
I agree with you, but also if you asked me to pick one metal band to represent American metal, I’d struggle greatly to pick just one.
